In-situ Contaminated Sediment Capping Workshop
Hosted by NOAA, U.S. EPA, U.S. ACE

This will be a national workshop to review the science, technology and applications of capping at contaminated sediment sites, examine lessons learned, and discuss future directions.
Sediment issues have caught the attention of the regulators at both State and Federal levels in the recent past. Significant expenditures are anticipated nationally and internationally to address sediment issues in the future. It is therefore important that the solutions to sediment issues be based on sound science and effective technology so that environmentally acceptable and cost effective solutions are implemented at these impaired sites.
Capping is one of the major options to remediate contaminated sediment, along with dredging and natural recovery. This workshop will include overviews from regulators, agencies and industry and address important issues in several areas, such as:

•   Physical, Chemical and Biological Characterization/Assessment issues during Site Characterization
•   Design theory and issues, design and construction methods, implementation tools, and evaluation of processes and other considerations during design, maintenance and performance of capping systems
•   Case Studies and cost implications
•   New Developments and R&D opportunities such as adsorptive/reactive caps, biological enhancements etc.
•   Monitoring, protocols, data interpretation, and long-term assessment

The workshop is expected to last two and a half days and will feature invited dignitaries and keynote speakers. It will be held in the city of Cincinnati, Ohio.
